You agreed to the rules when you joined. Just like you did in 1970.

It's your choice to follow or break them. The latter at your peril.

No money involved either way.

When I was a lad we had some mountain Ash shrubs that produced loads of orange berries every year. In the fall they got overripe and started to ferment while still attached to the bush. Along came a flock of Cedar Waxwings that feasted on the berries. Birds started fluttering out of the bush to the ground and had trouble walking.
Usually they managed to fly away about an hour or two later. Good thing there were few free-range cats in our neighbourhood.

I saw a video of a cat that was frightened by a drunk robin and did not attack it. I think that it ran away because the robin was not acting normal.

This tree was miserable. My home in California was plagued by this highly invasive species. My neighbor had them. they grow to 50 feet and live 50 to a hundred years. they have a suckering ability that allows them to spread continuously. This species came from China They would spread their suckers out traveling under our blacktopped road and show up in our flower beds between any separation in the concrete. Once they showed up applying poison did not work. Prolific, as they are they would produce other roots. How I disliked those trees, so much! I was constantly cutting down the new shoots that would show up.

Try ripping out the top part and then apply motor oil to the stump in the ground. It will travel along the root structure and kill it all. You might have to apply the oil several times over the course of a month.

EDIT: When I say apply a little, do NOT pour the oil on it - that is too much. An eyedropper drip would be enough.

Thanks for the tip. Fortunately for me, I sold my home several years ago and no longer live in California. I'm sure the new homeowner is having the same problem. I poured gasoline, oil and poison. It would kill the specific shoot I poured it on. However, underground the suckers(they carry moisture for those new roots) multiply and you can't see them until another 15 shoots have come up. This particular tree(or Plant) is described as one of the most invasive species in Europe and North America. It was a constant battle.

Status: offline 		I belong to a couple of other forums, private groups, where political discussion is prohibited. One of them is a private group for current and retired US Army professionals in a certain specialized field. No, not special ops, not trying to hint at that, something much more mundane but quite interesting. We discuss the state of the speciality, jobs available, Army policy, and sometimes events in the news (usually Army or DOD related but sometimes not) that directly affect the specialty. We discuss how those things affect the specialty and lessons that can be learned for practitioners. There is a strict rule not to let politics enter into the discussion, and in nearly all cases, even in things related to presidential directives or congressional actions, they are done without politics entering into the discussion. But every now and then someone just has to make a political comment, usually just a totally unecessary swipe at one political party or the other, or some highly polarizing politician. Which often leads to a counter political comment. Etc. There is a warning, and if it continues, the person is kicked out of the forum. But nearly everyone can follow the ground rules and skirt political discussion, even if the topic is about a political decision by the president or congress. It just takes a little self discipline. Those who can't help themselves just need to avoid such groups and go where there are no such rules. In today's world there are almost limitless opportunities to find your place.

True. On December 31st, 1969, I swore an oath to defend the constitution of the United States, against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Where have I failed at that oath? I am interested to know. Correct me, please.

Also, please, tell me how my money and my choice is against forum rules?

I did not swear to spend money on games that are released here. Or did I? I'm getting old, but I will defend to my dying day to uphold my oath to the constitution of the United States - including the Bill of Rights -, and my right to spend my money in any manner in which I choose.

As far as your oath and failing in that goes, I do not know since I do not know anything about your military nor criminal records, nor do I know if they are complete in regarding your actions.

As far as I understand, your rights under the US Constitution and especially the Bill of Rights are in regards to only the various governments of the United States from the Federal level down to the lower governmental entities and not in regards to private businesses. I will not go farther about spending your money since that gets into the political messes.

A private business can curtail your speech while on their property including these forums here. A private business can also have conduct clauses for you in contracts with them.

Criminal records? You amuse me. I did get a speeding ticket back in the mid 80's in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Internet trolls saying that I have a criminal record. Nice.
